ON THIS DAY
The backdrop to Villa's victory over Leeds is the worrying reveal that Dalian Atkinson had put in a transfer request after a row with manager Ron Atkinson. Happily Dalian later rescind the move saying "I’ve withdrawn It and we're going to leave It to the end of the season and see how It goes.
“Now I just want to start scoring goals and win a cup for the club.
"I've just got a year left on my contract, I'm still only 25 and I'm going to have to thrash out my future."
